New Emission Control System Ready for Operation
Responding to demand from various industries for processing materials that emit nitrogen oxide (NOx), Powder Processing and Technology (PPT) has added advanced emission control capability to support its growing client base. The Tri-Mer emissions control unit, based on catalytic ceramic filters, is state-of-the-art technology for processes that emit NOx. The unit has been fully commissioned and has demonstrated the ability to handle NOx emissions in the range of two to fifty pounds per hour with NOx destruction efficiency adjustable up to 95%. The Tri-Mer unit also captures particulate - PM10, PM2.5, and submicron PM - to over 99% efficiency. The system can be modified to handle SOx, HCl and VOC's and PPT will add those capabilities as clients' requirements dictate. Thermal processing equipment with emission control noted with "ECS".
